I’ve written a bunch on my OCS 2007 CallManager 5.1 and Cisco Unified Presence Server (CUPS) 6.0.1 integration. For the most part – it’s all working great. My previous posts talked about resolving issues with shared line appearances (where your extension is on multiple phones). I was happy to clear that up. But now – […]

I came across something interesting with the CUPS to OCS integration… In OCS, you have a SIP ID for each user; it’s usually best to have that match the SMTP address. So it would be something like: Jim@domain.com. That’d be the SIP and SMTP addresses. No problem there. And this can even be different from […]

UPDATED WITH NEW LINK to CISCO DOC I’ve just finished up a CUPS-to-OCS 2007 integration. We are using CUPS 6.0, Cisco CallManager 5.1, and OCS 2007 RTM. We have implemented Remote Call Control (RCC) and presence. This lets you do a few really, really, cool things: Look up any user in your corporate directory and […]

Briefly… If you are trying to install OCS and you would like to configure the service accounts with a password containing a " or a space: your install will fail. Kind of strange… I changed the password to not have the quote mark and it worked. Matt

We have Office Communication Server 2007 (OCS)live and in production here at PointBridge. It is co-existing nicely with Live Communication Server 2005 (LCS). There was only one hang-up at first: LCS users couldn’t see OCS users’ presence. It was a one-way thing though; everyone on OCS could see all the LCS users’ presence no prob. […]

Note- this post was written in 2007, prior to OCS R2. OCS R2 in fact IS a conference bridge, and a good one at that. Most people who travel in OCS/LCS circles know that OCS 2007 includes a bundled version of LiveMeeting. This allows people to collaborate with powerpoint/whiteboard/chat/desktop sharing. Also, the bundled LiveMeeting allows […]

I was trying to integrate Exchange UM, OCS and an audio codes gateway today & stumbled across something kinda quirky. If you are trying to get UM and OCS integrated, you need to enabled TLS on your UM dialplan. That’s easy enough (set-umdialplan -identity MyDialplan -voipsecurity SIPSEcured) What they don’t tell you explicitly, though, is […]

The purpose of this doc is to give an example as to how to configure a AudioCodes IP gateway for use with an Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging demo. I’ve looked around the web and I’ve looked at AudioCodes’ own documentation. It’s all kinda fuzzy, so I thought I’d write my own How-To and save people […]
